Wixey Digital Fence Readout
Excellent product so far. Easily attached to my Craftex saw. Interestingly, I used an accurate square to calibrate - but when I moved the fence to 48" and measured it was 1/16th inch out - I figured out that the Digital readout was bang on, and the steel Milwaukee tape measure I was using was out by 1/16" - Be sure to use an accurate measuring device to check calibration - I'd trust the Wixey over a tape measure. Once calibrated it has proven to be perfectly accurate cut after cut without recalibration. Real time saver... for example, I cut a strip of wood at 23/32" to fill in a Dado and it was perfect in one cut. Love it.

Digital Readout Fence
I have used this digital readout fence for about 2 1/2 years now, and it has worked excellent. After a short learning curve I decided to set the scale up to match my tape measures that I use in my shop instead of my digital caliper, which I had originally set it up to, Since I don't/can't use digital calipers to check for measuring furniture/ cabinets past 6" it was pointless to do so. I run a furniture/cabinet shop and use this fence everyday, this method of setting up the digital readout to my tape measure has worked out very well. To have the ability to set the digital readout to a previous measurement after moving the fence and have it recut bang on is truly well worth the added time to set up this system. I agree the digital readout can be too touchy, but I'd rather that than not.

Great addition to a table saw
I have installed this unit on a Delta Hybrid saw with a couple of minor alteration to the mount. I only wish I had purchased this years ago as this is one of the best upgrades to a table saw. The guide is extremely accurate and you can really do away with your tape measure once you have it calibrated. It can be almost too fussy with increments of 0.001", but does show fractions to 32nds of an inch as well at the appropriate intervals. Mine is in the garage and the battery has lasted for three years now even in the dead of winter in Niagara. A real plus for old eyes too.
